Currently users require the permission to schedule the BPF program /PCH/BPF_RUNTIME_ACTIONS as job in case of temporary errors like object locks during status change. This will be changed in a future release. The authorization required is:
Authority object: S_BTCH_JOB
Field: JOBGROUP value: <empty>
Field JOBACTION value: ‘RELE’
Normal user do not need any special authorization to work with ProProcess. Authorizations might be checked on the level of certain task, which are completely independent of ProProcess.
Special authorizations are required for certain task at definition and at run time.
Authorization for special customizing/modelling tools
Besides the classic process modelling application several expert tools (see ProProcess Customizing Manual) exist which require the authority object /PCH/BPFCF. The authority object contains a predefined function and an activity. The values are described below.
Authority function | Activity | Description |
|---|---|---|
CONSIST | 06, 39 | Consistency check of the whole process modelling data (39) including cleanup of invalid data (06) |
TPCHEK | 39 | Consistency check between process data stored on the database and the data recorded in the corresponding transport task |
WF | 01, 02, 06 | Workflow utilities to check, create, update, repair, activate and delete workflow patterns. Authorization is only needed for creating (01), changing and activation (02) and deleting (06) workflow patterns. |
Authorization for process administrators
In some cases, it is needed that an administrator is changing something on ongoing processes (see ProProcess User Manual). There are several actions available, which are all protected using the authorization object /PCH/BPFAD and a function. The following predefined functions are available:
